I've added you on the ping list. Let me know if you want to be taken off. I don;t expect this to be real high volume just the occasional news story related to addiction recovery.

Many thanks and congratulations to you, Rob! I'm extremely happy for you. Also appreciate that you posted your story. Though I'd often wondered if this or that FReeper might be sober, I had NO idea I was in so much good company!
And yes, I am an alcoholic. Am happy and grateful to report that I've been continuously sober in AA since September 10, 1970. Best decision I EVER made in my life. But I know full well that without all of the wonderful support and knowledge I gained through my program, there isn't a chance I would have been able to stay the course.
For any of you that may not know, may I assure you that there IS life after sobriety. Happy, fulfilling, joyful life, I might add. Have the same problems I would have had if I hadn't been alcoholic. Difference is, I've been taught how to live through them without alcohol or drugs in my system. Not a bad deal from my perspective. Not a bad deal at all.
Oops, nearly forgot. Lest any of you think I'm 496 years old, I got sober at age 22. I'll let you do the math > smile.
